And once again, I slide back into paper as the only thing that works. Nothing else lets me use washi tape.

I think perhaps it wasn’t a wise idea to find my perfect to-do app by using 3 all at once.

Yes, it’s a knock off Kodos and I adore it.

My neighborhood well-intentioned-NPR-democrat-NIMBY group is launching a neighborhood witch ride (where you decorate your bike or scooter with brooms, dress like a witch and give neighborhood kids candy) and I think this means we’re about to have a fresh satanic panic.

I was the asshole parent who would mark out errors in teacher handouts in red pen and send them back. Funny how the teachers that treated kids well also knew stuff.

This? This is next level wtf.

Not enough of us are hacking the planet and it shows.

Information still wants to be free, y’all.

Release the Epstein files? Back in my day, there would be an elaborate scheme that would have those on every BBS, plus 17 fake ones with the same file name.

Oct 14th - #Hackers of the world united to overload the Gibson, and prevent the Da Vinci virus from capsizing an oil fleet, designed to distract from "The Plague's" worm stealing $25m.

📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Hackers" (1995): First, a group of young people is gathered in a subway car, with one reading a paper as another looks on, while a subtitle reads, "Wait a minute. The 14th... that's the same day the worm ends its run." Second, a person with a striking hairstyle and colorful clothing stands in front of a vibrant, patterned backdrop, saying, "Hackers of the world, unite." Third, a person leans out of a car window, passionately shouting, "Hack the planet!"

Animals loved him. He once saved a baby opossum from being eaten by a crow, raising it until it was too big to live in the house.

People got tattoos from him for the cool art, but also because he made weirdos feel safe, welcome and accepted.

This truly depends on the definition of “okay” as well as “polite company.”

Since it’s a peanut butter cup, allowing you to neatly lift it and it helps it maintain its shape, wouldn’t it be more apt as a bra?

This explains why the Halloween brooch I ordered months ago was marked “destroyed” (after I paid the extra tariff) and the Spanish jewelry maker was like “wait, did you get it or not? That was handmade!”

I still get an automated “on its way” email (in Spanish) every day.

I became 50 this year and so clearly being 50 feels like being a tween, but with more annual screenings for things.

I went to a counter protest of a drag storybook event (at a church) and there were a bunch of ladies dressed like princesses dancing and waving sparkly wands about. Laughing and fun in general takes the wind out of jackwads’ sails.
